Innoventions is a ghost town this time of year anyway, so there's no point in having the cast members do their special product presentation, or to have Tom Morrow operate, etc. Not to mention it takes forever for the building to get to the right spot in order to load people. Not worth it when there are only a few people every couple of minutes who straggle on through. This is just my speculation, however.

And if they can't come up with a bonafide success to succeed Innoventions ... then BYE carousel building .. altogether.

Originally Posted By dresswhites ^^each to their own. i personally found both above to be a bit annoying, particularly the stich encounter. i think turtle talk with crush is presented and comes off alot better than stich. to those who have dared to enter recently do they still perform those little shows just as you enter. i remember even when innoventions first opened, people would never stay and watch and would go explore on their own. i have to agree with jonvn, it is simply unpleasant to be inside.

The guy we got was hilarious. Really quick and clever, and since there were no kids in our group, JUST naughty enough to be even funnier.
